RE2: State of pirates

So its pretty obvious to me at this point that pirates are very unfinished. I'm in their territory, not running into patrol vessels, and as I type this am in a freeport that I intended to destroy...but there's nothing here? Absolutely love the giant asteroids that make it look like a pirate cove of old, and the bgm in the freeport slaps. That being said, I think I'll be abandoning my outpost in this territory as there seems to be near nothing to do. Most ground POIs have placeholders around them. I guess I wanted to make this post to ask where they are at in the roadmap? Was hyped to trounce planet after planet of them.
